pilates
A place designated for pilates exercises, usually with a trainer or in a group.
A pilates facility is a place designated for pilates exercises, following a system for bodily conditioning developed by Joseph Pilates in the early 20th century. Activities include postures and motions designed to increase balance, endurance, strength, and flexibility, in combination with breathing exercises, with an emphasis on skeletal alignment.
The exercises follow the Pilates conditioning system, with coordinated movement, posture, and breathing. A trainer or group session is common without being necessary for every practice space.
Yoga follows a different exercise tradition. Shared goals such as balance and flexibility do not make the two practices interchangeable.
